The Big Announcement You Have Been Waiting For is Here:
A personal message from Dov that changes everything.
It’s just 6 and half minutes, please watch it all…because it’s all important

Watch it NOW, and find out how this impacts you.

To much Turkey

I know it’s rather obvious but, is Thanks Giving really about eating like you are wearing a pair of elastic waistband pants?

Or drifting off into a turkey/tryptophan induced sleep while watching some sporting event on TV?

You and I both know it’s not.

Then why, since we know better, is it that so many of us end up in this oh so familiar place?

Does Gratitude have a place in Leadership?

I actually think it’s rather strange that we need an official holiday to remind us to be thankful?

While I also know that in an ever increasing busy world it is so easy to take for granted that which has the greatest value.

Many of you who read my posts don’t live in the US and for you there’s no such holiday as “Thanksgiving.” However, no matter where in the world you are, this article is for you, because I would like you to please accept my gratitude for you. As you read on you’ll know why I’m specifically talking to you.

For most people the holiday season is a little insane, and in all likelihood, you’re probably busier than a one armed mom with newborn triplets.
However, I trust that you will see that investing a few minutes to read this article will prove well worth your time.

Clearly at this time of year, the majority of people run around like chickens with their heads cut off doing more and more, while feeling less and less connected, to themselves or anyone else.

So right now…Just for a minute or two,  stop!  Take a moment and ask yourself to be totally honest while answering the following question:

How much time do you spend in genuine gratitude?

In today’s hectic lifestyle there is a good chance that you, like most people, you are likely running on empty! I get it, I’ve been there myself.

So in a crazy, hectic world, what can we do to fill up a little?

I want to help you out: Right now, forget everything for a couple of minutes and listen…

STOP and take a moment to become aware of the blessings in your life.

You need to stop skimming for a moment and really take this in, because when I say “gratitude” I’m talking about the real stuff, the all-meat, a real treat, genuine heartfelt, preferably eyeball-to-eyeball or at least heart-to-heart connection.

In other words, thanks delivered with real meaning rather than some perfunctory, verbally text “thanx.”

One way of recognizing what you have and genuinely appreciating it comes from stopping and considering all the things that go by each day that can so easily get taken for granted:

Big Smile

•    The smile on a child’s face as they say “hello” or “goodbye’” to you.

•    Getting a call from your partner, friend, sibling, or family member to genuinely ask how you are doing.•    Being able to breathe and smell the flowers or maybe the coffee.

•    How about gratitude for having the strength to do what you need to and desire to do?

•    Or knowing there is someone, somewhere who loves you.

•    Or receiving kindness, whether it was a smile, food, a kind word, a gentle kiss, or even this article.

What I’m saying in the simplest terms is; return to a state of gratitude. Grateful…To be Full of Greatness

Full of Greatness

I’ve been speaking around the world to thousands of people for many years now and someone who honours their position as a leader, I want to stop and say: This Thanksgiving and every day, I am grateful for YOU…

Yes, I am talking to YOU!

If you’ve been following my work, you already know that I have a dream.
My dream is to facilitate people like you in stepping more fully into their Authentic Selves and becoming a Soul-Driven Leader. Now you may be saying, “What the heck does that mean?”

It means being able to assist people all over the world in knowing that despite your current circumstances, you are truly powerful and that you have the power to be a leader in your own life and the lives of those you interact with….

Thank You

In so doing, you create the life that your heart and soul cries out to live.

I am truly grateful to you because, through you, I get to live my dream, my purpose, my mission.

You, my friends, spiritual family, students and unstoppable team are the fuel that moves me forward.

Maybe you have had this experience, and maybe not;  I know for me there is an inner knowing that I am the voice of something bigger than myself. I, by virtue of you doing the work, carry that voice out into the world. In so doing, you share in my mission, my dream, my purpose.

I am truly grateful because maybe, just maybe, I have had some influence in waking up your soul, in inspiring your heart, in letting you know you are truly magnificent!

My friends in Personal Growth and peers in Thought Leadership

Thank you to all my wonderful Accidental Guru Radio Show guests and the quickly approaching 100 thousand listeners each week.

Muuum-ma…big kiss of gratitude to all my FaceBook friends and fan, my YouTube friends and subscribers, Twitter followers and of course all of you wonderful readers of this very blog.

Queen Renuka and I

My biggest “Thank you” is always to my beloved bride, best friend and partner, the sweetness in my life and my guru of kindness, my inspiration, my muse, my Queen: Renuka. Each day I am grateful for her and for the work I did to clear my poop in order to attract this amazing woman into my life more than a decade ago.

Renuka, you are the light in my heart, my greatest inspiration and biggest supporter. You have held me when I could have been crushed and in that moment, your love and strength kept me walking my path when I felt crippled. Thank you!

You may want to take action on what you’ve read here… Why not take out your pen and journal and write a list of whom and what you are grateful for.

Once you have done that, I would suggest that you buy some thank you cards and write notes of gratitude. At least send an email or make a phone call to those people. (I like cards because some people are uncomfortable taking in gratitude and nobody can interrupt or dismiss the written word).

With that I will sign off: Thank you from the depths of everything I am and all I can become.
I look forward to seeing you again soon or meeting you for the first time.

Be grateful to those who treated you with kindness, love and understanding. Be equally thankful to those who have challenged you beyond your comfort zone because they love you enough to risk having you dislike them.

“Even a heartfelt thank you is not enough, gratitude in the truest sense is trusting the intention of the giver and trusting yourself enough as the receiver, to not twist the gift into something it is not.

It is the fool who only knows the value of something after taking advantage of it, or pushing it away” ~Dov Baron…

Gratitude is is something that always pays great dividends. If you put your money into a great investment it appreciates…another word for gratitude is Appreciation and come’s from the word “appreciate” meaning…   “To Increase in Value” Be grateful because what you are grateful for will increase in value.

By the way, if you found this message valuable, feel free to send this to your friends.

A fresh serving of excitement with a small side of anxiety was about to be chewed up and turned into something magnificent! … The music got louder and he hit the stage with a single intention…To Serve!

Chris Jimenez... Here to serve

On September 9th, 2011 Chris Jimenez hit the stage for the first time as MC for the Baron Mastery event “Claim Your Competitive Edge”.  Chris had quite nervously joined the Baron Mastery Speaker-Leadership training earlier that year. When Chris had started in the training he had struggled to get his head out of the way in order to have his wonderful warm heart to speak to his audience.

That being said he was not alone… Less than a month before, Chris with a number of others from the training had auditioned for this honorable opportunity, and it was close. The three runners up were Deb Cummings, Claudette Brouchard, and Trish Leptick. All had done a spectacular job, however, Chris took the prize.  This was in no way a downgrade for the runners up, you see each of them would be given the rare gift of presenting on the Baron Mastery stage at Claim Your Competitive Edge.

None of them had ever been on a platform speaking in front of an audience of this magnitude before. Each one of them had there own particular recipe for excitement and anxiety. Each one of them was able to move past the obstacles before them by holding to the central principle taught throughout our Speaker-Leadership Training…You are here to serve!

From the moment Chris began to speak the audience was both entertained and inspired. However, among other fabulous messages shared he shared there were a couple of moments where excitement became something far deeper, a heart and soul connection. The eyes of women and men alike filled as his words reached out like a gentle hand of compassion to a hungry child.

Chris spoke of  a surprise Christmas gift, a gift not available even in the most exclusive store. What he shared was not a story about tinsel, Christmas lights or any kind of fabulous designer gifts. This was a story of something far more valuable than any price tag.

As we all sat on the edge of our seats, Chris shared the impact of being a member of the Baron Mastery CORE affluence programs and the value it had brought to his life.  He spoke of being in the best shape of his life, having vastly increased his financial flow and now having more availability to his wife and children.  And then he began to speak of  the profound healing he had not even known he had needed when he entered the program.

Last Christmas Chris took his wife and children and they traveled down to California to be with his father and his fathers family. This is something Chris had done many times and as much as it was a good thing to do, there was always something missing. You see his dad had left the family when Chris was just a little boy. And as so often the case, incomplete memories and the opinions of others become a reality that chokes out the complete truth. Without knowing it this had left both men missing something neither had been able to articulate, and it had remained a secret yearning.

From the moment Chris engaged in being a CORE Affluence Member he became dedicated to his inner journey, because he immediately saw the value this system brought to his life….

Last Christmas, Chris stood face to face with his father, and even though he had done so many times, this time was different…this time he could see this man for the truth of who he is.

This time they were not just eye-to-eye, somehow they were heart-to-heart too. Whats more for the first time he felt his father seeing him for the man he is.  As the two embraced, a miracle took place, for the first time ever their armor cracked and suddenly two men who had deeply missed each other let love between them run freely.

The dam of resentment finally crumbled under the awesome force of something far more powerful; deep compassion. In that moment these two men gifted each other a transformative experience of love. For the first time ever Chris knew with every fiber of his being that his father loved and respected him… Neither man will ever be the same.

I will tell you more about this amazing, life changing event called Claim Your Competitive Edge in upcoming posts.

Come to the edge, let’s fly!

Claim Your Competitive Edge

Stay Curious my friend, stay curious and live with courage,

P.S. If you enjoyed this article, please feel free to comment, like and share it with your friends.

P.P.S. Big Announcement: We are now taking applications from candidates to apply to be one of a maximum of 12 elite proteges for next years Baron Mastery Authentic Speaker-Leadership Training…(This is the same training Chris, Deb, Claudette and Trish have all come through). You must hurry to be in the running! Contact our office for details: +1 604 436 2063

Another one of these charmers who I had given ongoing support to, suddenly decided that I should follow their new gurus wisdom and declare it as the “absolute truth.”  Because I was not willing to engage in a right wrong argument this person is now trying to friend all my friends on facebook telling then that I’m a liar and wait for it, this is a new one, “master demon“.

Now let me be clear, I appreciate that everyone has an opinion and they are entitled to it, and that includes the fact that I do not have to accept what I consider to be abuse.  That being said; so am I…

I’m so done with folks who are upset with the fact that I am in business…

All my life I’ve been dedicated to serving others, often giving away much of my value, to “help” those not able to pay. I’ve always done this with authentically generosity. You see for me if you give with strings attached it is not a gift. That being said, it is also important to pay attention to whether the person receiving what you gift is actually valuing that gift.

After many years of research I can tell you without doubt, unless they have skin in the game, (that person is invested) very little, if anything will happen.

Both my company and myself  are mission driven.  That being said, I am in business and businesses do not run on love, light and wishful thinking. Therefore,  if the fact that I let you know I can serve you better through one of my multiple learning systems, (products or live events) upsets you, feel free to remove yourself from my friends on Facebook, Twitter or my email list. I am sure there is someone else can serve you better.

To everyone who chooses to stay on board; thank you for showing yourself as someone who understands the value of investing in your own growth.

“Those who only see price will never understand value, and as a result will always be in financial struggle.” ~Dov Baron

I trust that reading this you will begin to fully own your value,  and to those standing around waiting for a hand out of your time, energy or talent, tell them plain and simple…Piss Off!

No matter how much you give, there will always be those who are going to take shots at you.  I heard a great quote the other day that fits perfectly with my point:

“Dogs don’t bark at parked cars” …

So if they’re dogging you, it means your moving baby!

Some people thought I was upset about the above message, in truth…That person offered me a great gift.: Boundaries are a beautiful thing, and just like everyone else I need to be reminded that I am resop0sible for holding my own.

I would put it to you that living anything less than authentically isn’t really living. (Take a look at the video below) Giving away your value is NOT authentic!  Remember that becoming a true leader demands that you fully and authentically show up.

I have said many times… What I offer isn’t for everyone, and I am more than good with that.

P.S. If you are in business, and you are sick of people thinking that you are running some kind of charity, you may want to consider re-posting this on your page, so that they get it…You Own Your Value!

Come to the edge, let’s fly!

Stay Curious my friend, stay curious and live with courage,

Thanksgiving; a wonderful opportunity to return to gratitude.

Love is Gratitude in Action

Normally I don’t look in my junk mail folder. However, for some unknown, mysterious reason today I had an intuition to do so. What I found inside was a pure gift of gratitude. What a blessing!

Isn’t it strange that we need an actual holiday to remind us to be thankful?

I know that many of you who read my articles don’t live in the US and for many, where you live there is no such holiday as “Thanksgiving.” But, you know what, this article is for you, no matter where in the world you are, because I would like you to please accept my gratitude for you. As you read on you’ll know why I’m specifically talking to you.

Holiday time can be a little insane for most people, and in all likelihood, you’re probably busier than a one armed mom with newborn triplets.
However, I trust that you will see, investing a few minutes to read this article will prove well worth your time.

You are reading this, aren’t you? Then, you care about gratitude, correct?

Well, no matter what country you are living in, right now let me ask you to be honest and answer this question:

How much time do you spend in genuine gratitude?

I remember when I was a kid sitting in front of the TV as some futurist was telling the viewers how we were all going to be having all our meals in pill form, and that we would all have so much leisure time we would only work if we chose to. Boy, were the experts WRONG!

Obviously, you’ve likely noticed that every day there seem to be a million new things to do. Each day it can seem difficult to even slow down enough to catch a little downtime.  By the time most people get home, all they have the energy do is turn on the TV to unwind, only to be assaulted with the news of doom and gloom.

Clearly most of the time, the majority of people run around like chickens with their heads cut off doing more and more, while feeling less and less connected, to themselves or anyone else.

If you have any sense of yourself in what you just read, then, like most people, you are running on empty! I know.  I’ve been there myself.

So in a crazy, hectic world, what can we do to fill up a little?

Right now, forget everything for a couple of minutes and listen…

STOP and take a moment to become aware of the blessings in your life.

As many of you know, energy is the necessary ingredient for manifestation. Well, there is a wonderful “new’” movement of interest in manifestation. Perhaps you have read about it in my books or have heard me talk about it either at a workshop, my podcasts or in a tele-program or even on my radio show: Quantum Resonance. It is having or building a certain Quantum Resonance that determines what you manifest.

Here’s the little known secret: One of the most powerful quantum energies for manifestation is Gratitude.

Got your attention? Good! You need to stop skimming for a moment and really take this in, because when I say “gratitude” I’m talking about the real stuff, the all-meat, a real treat, genuine heartfelt, preferably eyeball-to-eyeball or at least heart-to-heart connection.

In other words, thanks delivered with real meaning rather than some perfunctory “thanks.”

One way of recognizing what you have and genuinely appreciating it comes from stopping and considering all the things that go by each day that can so easily get taken for granted:

• The smile on a child’s face as they say “hello” or “goodbye’” to you.
• Getting a call from your partner, friend, sibling, or family member to genuinely ask how you are doing.
• Being able to breathe and smell the flowers or maybe the coffee.
• How about gratitude for having the strength to do what you need to and desire to do?
• Or knowing there is someone, somewhere who loves you.
• Or receiving kindness, whether it was a smile, food, a kind word, a gentle kiss, or even this article.

I’ve been speaking around the world to thousands of people for many years now and I want to stop and say:

This Thanksgiving and every day, I am grateful for you.

Yes, I am talking to YOU!

If you’ve been following my work, you already know that I have a dream.
My dream is to facilitate people like you into stepping more fully into their power. Now you may be saying, “What the heck does that mean?”

“Stepping more fully into your power” means being able to assist people all over the world in knowing that despite the current circumstances, you are truly powerful and that you have the power to be a leader in your own life and the lives of those you interact with….

In so doing, you create the life that your heart and soul cries out to live.

I am truly grateful to you because, through you, I get to live my dream, my purpose, my mission.

You, my friends, spiritual family, students and unstoppable team are the fuel that moves me forward. I know that I am the voice of something bigger than myself and you carry that voice out into the world and in so doing, share in my mission, my dream, my purpose.  I am truly grateful because maybe, just maybe, I have had some influence in waking up your soul, in inspiring your heart, in letting you know you are truly magnificent!

I am grateful to you. You who are committed to growth. You who are no longer willing to settle for mediocrity. You who stand up and fight to be free, even from the prison of your mind.
I believe that the education we offer at Baron Mastery Institute is a way out of the mental, emotional jails we can lock ourselves in.

Thank you for inspiring me with your feedback, emails, phone calls, photos,  testimonials, courage, vulnerability and your stories of how your life has changed using the skills, tools and knowledge you received from us at Baron Mastery Institute.

I love taking the time to read and hear them all…

They are all fuel in my tank!

That was what happened when I found that email I was telling you about at the beginning of this article. I opened the message to be blessed by a student of Baron Mastery whom we had not heard from in some time.
This person showered us with love and gratitude for the massive positive changes in their life. They went on to say that there had been a time where they had taken what they had learned from us and all the growth that had come from it for granted, but not anymore. Now “life is undeniably sweet!”

Your work on yourself and your support of our collective mission keeps me believing we can, and do, create tomorrow’s high performance leaders.

Thank you to my beloved bride, best friend and partner, the sweetness in my life and my guru of kindness, my inspiration: Renuka. Each day I am grateful for her and for the work I did to clear my poop in order to attract this amazing woman into my life more than a decade ago.

Renuka, you are the light in my heart, my greatest inspiration and biggest supporter. You have held me when I could have been crushed and in that moment, your love and strength kept me walking my path when I felt crippled. Thank you!

I’m wondering if you will now take action based on what you’ve read here? You probably already know.

However, here’s what I suggest you do right now:

Take out your pen and journal and write a list of whom and what you are grateful for.

Once you have done that, I would suggest that you buy some thank you cards and write notes of gratitude. At least send an email or make a phone call to those people. (I like cards because some people are uncomfortable taking in gratitude and nobody can interrupt or dismiss the written word).

It’s not that long ago that I was having a conversation with someone who said to me, “It must be wonderful to touch all these people’s lives.” My reply was and still is, that it is wonderful; however, what is equally wonderful is that you touch mine just as much.

Thank you from the depths of everything I am and all I can become.

I look forward to seeing you again soon or meeting you for the first time.

Remember; nothing can crush you unless you allow it.

“Aspire to greatness for that is your true nature! Your value far outweighs your circumstances.” ~Dov Baron…

With gratitude,

P.S. There are so many people I would love to  individually thank for their commitment and assistance in bringing our work to the world. As I am writing this here on my blog there is one person I want to individually thank , because without her assistance my words maybe illegible. A great big thank you, kiss and hug to my wonderful editor Woodeene Koenig-Bricker, whose guidance and insights are greatly appreciated.
